Have you ever traded in a car? You can't expect the starts to align and get equal value back.

Poor example, you trade a car into a dealership with a markup to sell it. In the NBA, teams trade with each other. One gets a better value, the other does not. The key is to get the better value.
 
Larry Sanders is obscure? He's averaging over 3 blocks per game...

Do any of those players command a double team?

My problem with Trade Assumptions is that there are so many moving variables it's almost unrealistic to propose them

LMA doesn't command the double team any more. Teams have stopped doing that for the most part because LMA has stopped posting up. He posts up about 5 times a game now. He may get doubled once or maybe twice. It is not something that the Blazers are exploiting - so it doesn't matter if he CAN command double teams. The fact is, right now he DOESN'T.

100% disagree. And..... Did you ever think to realize that the focus has now moved to Lillard? If Aldridge was not on the team; expect triples on Lillard like they did with Roy years ago. Still can't believe how quickly people forget.

That's not in question; the problem is people who flip the fuck out as soon as someone talks about trading Aldridge, like it's the biggest slap in the face to even mention his name in possible trades.

Talk about flipping the fuck out when someone gives an opinion . . . this thread is exhibit #1 of flipping the fuck over what other posters say.

Aldridge has Quit; Sunshine and Rainbows! . . . this board is on emotional tilt these days

The whole point was that people slam the board and talk about leaving if someone feels different about one player on the team. It seems a little absurd, almost absurd as thinking that everything is completely okay that nothing should be changed. It's not just the Aldridge thread either. There are similar posts in the Lillard/Roy thread. It's like, if someone doesn't agree, this board has completely lost its marbles and they're done posting here. It just seems kind of outlandish considering the whole point of this forum is to... you know.... debate basketball. There's going to be people at one end of the spectrum, others at the complete other end of the spectrum, and a bunch of people inbetween. Why lump everyone into the same category and say "the board this" or "the board that"...

I understand your point. Do you see the irony that you make this post to make a point that people are overreacting to posters.

Anyways, not a big deal, more threads and strongly opinionated posters create more traffic, IMO. If posters don't like the topic, they don't have to read the thread. And if they want to use the excuse of a thread to say they are going to leave, they were probably looking for a reason to leave or are trying to get attention.

Just wanted to point out that starting a thread like this seems as extreme as some of the posters you are cracking on . . . but maybe that was your intention. One thing is for sure, you just put yourself on the same level as KS . . . and that is no compliment my friend. :D

I liked his game better when he played with a quality pass first PG and high post Center. He used to dunk all the time. Now it's like he shoots jumpers more and stuff so he must not care... I hope we trade him for spare parts and win a championship!
